Checking Installation Conditions

Adhere to the following precautions when installing the unit.

•Indoor use only.

•Prevent water and liquids from coming in contact with the unit’s terminals.

•Protect the unit from excessive impact and force.

•Do not forcibly pull on the power cable.

•Do not open or disassemble the unit.

•Use within the rated power input/ output range only.

•Use an approved power cable only.

•For products that require a ground source always use a plug that includes a ground pin.

Temperature Conditions

Samsung's Digital Video Recorder is an advanced security system that contains a high-capacity hard drive and other critical circuitry.

Carefully follow the installation instructions to prevent high internal or ambient temperatures, which can lead to a shortened lifespan or malfunction of the unit.

[Graph: Correlation between Temperature and Product Lifespan]

Recommendations for Mounting into a Rack

1.The inside of the rack must not be enclosed.

2.The rack must feature ventilation ports to provide sufficient internal air circulation, as shown in the diagram above.

3.Allow sufficient space between the DVR unit and other modules mounted to the rack or install ventilation ports to facilitate air circulation, as shown in the diagram.

4.Install the intake ports at the bottom of the rack and exhaust ports at the top of the rack to facilitate the formation of a natural convection airflow.

5.SEC strongly recommends the installation of fans at both intake and exhaust ports. Intake fans should be installed with a filter to block dust and other foreign materials.

6.An ambient temperature range of 0˚C to +45˚C must be maintained inside the rack.

(Alarm-In)					(Alarm-In)

devices other with connecting 02

Your DVR system is capable of transmitting electrical signals to external devices when an event occurs. Mechanical or electrical switches can be connected to the Alarm-In and Ground (GND) ports. The individual Alarm-In ports can be configured from the System Setup menu as either NC (Normal Close) or NO (Normal Open).

Alarm-In Connection

1.Connect one of the external device’s signal lines to the desired Alarm-In port.

2.Connect the remaining line to the Ground port (GND).

connecting with other devices _07

Alarm (Alarm-Out) Connection

Your DVR system is capable of activating warning lights, sirens, and other types of external devices. External device s can be connected to the unit's Alarm-Out and COM ports.

Alarm Connection

1.Connect one of the external device's signal lines to the desired alarm (Alarm-Out) port.

2.Connect the remaining line to the COM port.

•The alarms (Alarm-Out) operate in conjunction with the sensors (Alarm-In). When an event signal is received through a sensor, an electrical signal is transmitted from the corresponding alarm to activate the external device connected to that alarm.

•Alarms can be configured to function in unison with motion detection, video loss, object detection, and other software features.

08_ connecting with other devices

RS485 Connection

devices other with connecting 02

It's possible to control an external device by the DVR using the RS485 interface for communication.

The RS485 port can be used to control PTZ cameras, speed domes, keyboard controllers and other types of external devices.

Connect the RX+/TX+ & RX-/TX- of the external device to the + & - of the RS485 port respectively.

 Check the polarity (+/-) when making the connection. Faulty wiring can damage both devices. Warning  Electrical Hazard: Please carefully read through the Safety Warnings and Precautions section.

It’s not possible to connect a PTZ device and a keypad device (SSC-2000) to the RS485 port and use the two devices at the same time. In order to use a PTZ device with a keypad or another type of external device, you will need to install a separate COM port expansion card.

Internet

Switch Hub (100Mbps)

Router

Your DVR system supports network-based remote monitoring, remote search, remote control, and remote software upgrade. SEC recommends the use of the TCP/IP protocol and a switching hub for LAN/WAN applications.

Network Cable Connection

1.Connect a Ethernet/UTP cable to the network port located at the rear of the system.

2.Connect the opposite end of the Ethernet/UTP cable to the switch hub.

•Before connecting your DVR system to the network, please contact your network administrator to prevent the system from causing a network conflict.

10_ connecting with other devices

External Keypad Connection

devices other with connecting 02

The SSC-2000 keypad can be used to control up to 255 DVR and PTZ units.

Connect the DVR's RS485 (+/-) port to the SSC-2000 keypad's RS485 port.

•Turn the power off both units while connecting the SSC-2000.

•Pay attention to the polarity of the RS485 connections.

•Refer to the SSC-2000 manual when attempting a RS232 connection.

•When using a keypad device, please ensure that communication settings for both the DVR and the keypad device are the same. Communication settings mismatch can prevent the keypad device and the DVR from making normal communication. (Set communication protocols for both the keypad and the DVR as Half Duplex.)

•It’s not possible to connect a PTZ device and a keypad device (SSC-2000) to the RS485 port and use the two devices at the same time. In order to use a PTZ device with a keypad or another type of external device, you will need to install a separate COM port expansion card.
